Xiao Xiao was dragged down and killed, but the dozen or so soldiers brought by Xiao Xiao were still there.
Han Sui learned about the specific situation in Longxi through more than a dozen soldiers, and was stunned.
Unexpectedly, it was Lu Meng who led the soldiers to capture Longxi.
Such a thing was beyond Han Sui's expectation.
When he led his troops to leave Longxi, he had already learned Ma Teng's lesson and left some soldiers to defend Longxi. He also sent troops to reinforce the city walls and gates of the Longxi County Office in order to prevent the rear from being attacked. However, Longxi was attacked by Han Sui.
There was a defense like an iron barrel in his eyes, but it was easily attacked by Lu Meng.
Longxi County was lost, and Han Sui was already in a dilemma.
If Longxi County was still in Han Sui's hands, he could defend Jicheng and resist Wang Can's army. Because Longxi County had a steady stream of supplies and troops to support Jicheng, but Longxi County was lost, and Lu Meng came back with his army.
Han Sui became a sandwich biscuit, sandwiched in the middle by Wang Can's army, with nowhere to escape.
Late at night, the starry sky is bright.
The night was hazy and seemed real and illusory. The dark yellow oil lamp swayed as a wisp of breeze blew by. The two figures kept swinging under the light of the fire.
These two people were Han Sui and Yan Xing.
During the day, Han Sui held back because he was afraid of affecting the morale of the army. When he woke up, he immediately killed the small colonel who reported the news. The purpose was to tell the soldiers that this was not the case and it was purely a rumor. But it is impossible for everyone to believe Han
Then, someone understood that Longxi had been captured, so Han Sui also used this to warn the soldiers who were about to move, so that they could go on their way with peace of mind.
Han Sui didn't say anything in his heart, but that didn't mean he wasn't worried.
Along the way, he was very restless.
At night, the army stopped to rest, and Han Sui immediately came to Yan Xing to discuss countermeasures.
Han Sui looked solemn and said in a low voice: "Yan Ming, we have followed Ma Teng's footsteps and are about to be wiped out. In the past, Ma Teng and Wang Can fought, and Lu Meng took over their hometown of Huaili County, resulting in the defeat of the army. Now our foundation is
Longxi County was also blamed by Lu Meng, and faced with Ma Teng's past predicament, do you think this is retribution for my not saving Ma Teng?"
After he finished speaking, Han Sui burst into laughter.
The laughter was shrill, looking sad and desolate, revealing deep helplessness.
At this time, Han Sui was no longer the high-spirited tycoon of Xiliang, but a down-and-out old man.
Yan Xing glanced at Han Sui and felt that Han Sui was old and no longer had the vigor of the past. Even though Han Sui was cunning and cunning, he could use all his tricks and ultimately cost himself his life. Han Sui was cautious and cautious throughout his life, and finally got where he is today.
The situation was destroyed by Wang Can in one fell swoop, leaving Han Sui unable to resist.
It's not that I don't want to resist, it's that I can't resist.
Yan Xing said: "My lord, Longxi County has been lost, and Jicheng is already an isolated city. We have Lü Meng in front of us and Wang Can in the rear. We are bound to be defeated and cannot be stopped."
Han Sui stared at Yan Xing and asked in a deep voice, "What can you do?"
The tone was strong, like the roar of a desperado.
Yan Xing raised his head and said slowly: "For now, the only way is to surrender, otherwise Ma Teng will learn from his mistakes."
"Clang!"
Han Sui grabbed the hilt of the sword at his waist, pulled out the long sword, pointed it at Yan Xing, and shouted loudly: "Yan Yanming, what did you say, do you have the guts to say it again?" Han Sui's face was ashen, his eyes widened, and his eyeballs were protruding.
, as if someone had strangled his neck, causing his eyeballs to bulge out, which was terrifying.
Yan Xing showed no fear on his face, held his head high, and said calmly: "My lord, the only way to survive is to surrender. If my lord is prepared to fight Wang Can to the death, I will follow you to the death."
After saying this, Han Sui's sword fell to the ground with a clang.
surrender!
All that lies before us is surrender!
Han Sui was already an old man in his fifties and no longer young. He had passed the age of knowing his destiny, and he did not have much time left to live, and he no longer had the energy to fight. Yan Xing proposed a surrender strategy, and Han Sui immediately preferred it.
He surrendered because he still missed his wife and children at home and wanted to enjoy the happiness of family unity.
Yan Xing picked up the sword and put it aside.
Immediately, Yan Xing said slowly: "Master, what should we do with Ma Chao and Ma Xiu?"
Yan Xing mentioned the Ma Chao brothers, and Han Sui's expression suddenly became complicated. Ma Teng was killed by Wang Can's army, Ma Dai was also killed by Wang Can's army, and Ma Tie was also killed by Wang Can's army. Such a bloody feud is destined
Ma Chao and Wang Can are on opposite sides, and it is impossible to reconcile or stand together.
In other words, Han Sui surrendered and was destined to part ways with Ma Chao.
But when Han Sui and Ma Teng became sworn brothers, it was a combination of interests and not much family affection. Han Sui didn't care about the life and death of Ma Chao brothers. Not only that, when Yan Xing mentioned Ma Chao and Ma Xiu, Han Sui
A cold and stern light flashed in his eyes, and murderous intent arose in his heart.
If he kills the Ma brothers, he will have the capital to surrender to Wang Can.
Han Sui suppressed his thoughts and asked, "Yan Ming, what do you think?"
Yan Xing stared at Han Sui, clearly saw the changes in the expression on Han Sui's face, and guessed Han Sui's thoughts. Yan Xing also knew the reason why Han Sui didn't tell him.
Yan Xing said in a deep voice: "My lord, Wang Can and the Ma family have vowed not to be at odds with each other. The general suggested that we get rid of Ma Chao and Ma Xiu."
When Han Sui saw Yan Xing bring it up, a smile flashed in his eyes.
Immediately, Han Sui said: "Ma Chao is extremely skilled in martial arts, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with him!"
Yan Xing said: "My lord, all the soldiers in the army are our soldiers. As long as you give the order, all the soldiers will surround Ma Chao and Ma Xiu, and they will be unable to fly. By then, thousands of arrows will be fired, even though Ma Chao has nine lives.
It’s not enough to kill either.”
Han Sui shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it wouldn't be good to kill Ma Chao indiscriminately!"
When Yan Xing heard this, he secretly cursed Han Sui.
We have already reached this point, what else should we care about?
Yan Xing rolled his eyes and said: "In that case, after daybreak, invite Ma Chao and Ma Xiu to the camp, then charge the Ma brothers with a crime, and then order the soldiers to shoot the Ma brothers. You
What do you think?"
After hearing this, Han Sui nodded in agreement.
Even if a crime is forcibly added, there is still a fig leaf.
After a while, Han Sui sighed and said: "Yan Ming, it's late at night, you should go back and rest. Tomorrow's plan depends entirely on you. The survival of our army also depends on you. There must be no mistakes."
ah!"
Yan Xing stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will save you in the end."
After finishing speaking, Yan Xing turned around and left the camp.
Not long after, the shining oil lamp inside the camp went out. Just after the oil lamp went out, one of the soldiers who was keeping watch outside Han Sui's camp left for an excuse and quickly disappeared into the night.
Not long after, Ma Chao's camp lit up.
In the big tent, Ma Xiu was sitting below, along with the soldiers brought by Ma Chao and Ma Yunlu, who was disguised as a man.
Ma Chao said in a low voice: "Just now, there was news from the insider that the old guy Han Sui is ready to surrender, and he wants to kill us as a gift for surrendering to Wang Can. Humph, the old guy is my father's sworn brother, but he wants to kill us
If he wants to kill us, he is unkind, so he cannot blame us for being unjust. I am going to kill Han Sui."
In a short time, Ma Chao got the news.
From this, we can also see that Ma Chao’s methods are not simple.
Ma Chao's life under Han Sui was very unsatisfactory. He always kept silent and did not participate in anything. However, Ma Chao quietly won over Han Sui's soldiers to grasp Han Sui's latest trends, and his methods were quite clever.
